not really what he said, but who am I to get in the way of a good attempt to trigger

If you believe in karmic retribution, then you should be careful about wishing rape on someone else I would think... 

The thing is, Nintendo also never said he was retiring. The original press release just said he was stepping back from voice acting. Yes, he has said “I want to voice Mario until I drop dead,” but he also added a caveat that “If someday I think I am no longer capable of doing it, I will tell Nintendo to look into…

Some people see a conspiracy to push out Charles Martinet and replace him with AI, which is certainly possible, but I think it’s at least equally likely that Nintendo just didn’t think this would be as big of a deal as it has become. As video game nerds, we know who Charles Martinet is, but I guarantee you that the…

I know people love a prison rape joke, but just to bring the mood down a little, I’ll say that as a victim of child sex abuse, I never for a second wished rape on my abuser. Death, absolutely. Frequently and fervently, in fact. But I don’t wish rape on anybody, and would rather hear that Danny Masterston spent the…

The problem with that is that the union loses the potential leverage of one of the studios breaking with the others. Say Paramount decides, fuck it, we’re losing money hand over fist, we’ll make a deal. So they do, and SAG says, great, our actors can now work on/promote Paramount projects. Suddenly the other majors…

As others have mentioned they won't get residuals, which sucks, but also the fact that the show isn't getting produced means that it won't do anything for their careers. The people who've already put their labour into this show have nothing to put on their resumes.

This isn’t canceling a “greenlit” series though. It’s canceling a completed series that they’ve already spent all the money. The difference between canceling dinner, and cooking dinner and then throwing the cooked food out.

You would *think* right now that anything that has an entire season in the can would be a hot commodity since the networks currently are desperate for content with the strike going on.

Welcome to the Pyrite Age of Televsion!

One of the issues might have been that they didn’t want to pay anyone residuals.

The accountants are ascendant in Hollywood right now. The creatives had a good run, though.

Jesus Christ this shit is getting out of hand. 

I don’t understand it either. People are purposefully misreading the headline, then not reading the actual quote, and then getting mad that the game has content? I think people just need to be mad about something trivial lol. Either way it’s not going to effect how I view the game so there’s that.

“Most of Bioware’s best staff left years ago.”

They both looked cool up to the point that I realized that they they both feature predatory gatcha money pit bullshit. I hate that every game of this style coming out now can’t just be a regular game anymore.

I mean, he’s not wrong. People line up to see terrible, unoriginal, movies all the time and the world might be a better place if they weren’t using up all the money and screens. But he clearly doesn’t understand Sturgeon’s law and he isn’t as self aware as Sturgeon, who famously said that his line about “90% of…

There’s like four people who work at this corpse site now, so I think it’s time to stop being upset that it reads like that.

this blog also attacked Rachel Zegler for her comments.

I might be missing something, but is this take “guy who starred in one mediocre film not allowed to talk about how he wishes movies were higher quality”?
